Each of us hold the answers and the strength needed to navigate even the most difficult circumstances. Still, we may benefit from support in uncovering this inner strength and the solutions within it. I work with adults, youth and families to address traumas still held in the body/mind, anxiety, depression, self-discovery and relationships. My passion is working with families. I focus on the power of emotion and attachment and their role in the well being of families and the emotional development of children. My goal will be to support you in building healthier relationships that can survive difficult experiences in the future.

A registered counsellor since 1994, I have worked with a wide array of clients. I have done much work with marriages and relationships and have developed a system that generally makes a significant difference within 6 sessions. For six years, I worked as an elementary school counsellor, working with over 450 children for a wide variety of needs. For 20 years, I worked extensively with Level 3 foster children, mostly teens. I also served as a prison chaplain so am familiar with criminal justice issues and addictions. Because of the diversity of my experience, I can generally relate to most clients.

As a counsellor I am passionate about supporting children, teens and adults, as well as couples on their life journey: past, present & future. I consider myself an attachment based, trauma-informed and adoption competent counsellor. I also have a heart for helping parents to be the parent their child needs. Providing a safe and non-judgmental space to make sense of your experiences is my primary goal. My strength-based, client-centred approach, aims to support you to: strengthen connections, enhance skills, build resilience, heal from your own experiences, and to enjoy healthy relationships.

Maybe your feeling lost, not sure who you are anymore. Starting over, empty nester, getting divorced, not nice to yourself when you make a mistake, you worry about everything. You compare yourself; you have been called a people-pleaser. You'd like to put yourself higher on your priority list, but that feels really uncomfortable. Is there something missing in your relationship like trust, intimacy or good communication? Do the same problems and arguments keep coming up? Has there been a betrayal or an affair? Do you struggle to communicate, ask for what you need and accept help from others?

In sessions, one of my goals is to be mindful and offer a safe place for clients to share personal thoughts and experiences. Being present in each moment allows me to focus on a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients. This relationship then leads to us collaboratively establishing goals as well as working toward goals. I am available in Abbotsford on Mondays, Tuesdays and Saturdays and at Living Wellness Center in South Surrey on Wednesdays and Fridays.

An increasing number of people are experiencing a profound existential and spiritual crisis that is resulting in a process of spiritual awakening. This is part of natural rebalancing act within our personal and collective layers of consciousness, bringing us closer to harmony within and without. As beautiful as this process is, it can be very disorienting as our mind and body, nervous system, psyche and soul release outdated intergenerational traumas and patterns, unlock innate wisdom, and integrate clearer ways of experiencing our interconnectedness to one another and the natural world around us.

I believe in a holistic approach to health where all parts of our lives are interconnected. These include the social, emotional, physical, and mental components. But moreover, we cannot forget the recreational, financial, spiritual, and familial. I believe everyone's story is unique and deserves the utmost respect, attention, and creativity to find the best path to healing, growth, and lasting change.

Hi there, I’m a warm, authentic, and compassionate online therapist. And I’ve specialized in working with chronic pain and trauma, because I’m able to offer a unique blend of lived experience from having navigated these challenges myself. So, I get that chronic pain and trauma can feel isolating, like you're navigating a complex maze alone. I’ve wondered that path, while juggling being a mom, student, business owner, and therapist. So know that your not alone! I've personally traversed this challenging terrain of chronic illness, and I know firsthand the emotional and physical toll it takes. That's why I'm here to listen and help.
